We have performed realistic shell-model calculations for nuclei around doubly magic 100Sn and 132Sn using an effective interaction derived from the Bonn A nucleon-nucleon potential. The results are in remarkably good agreement with the…

A perturbing shell is introduced as a device for studying the excitation of fluid motions in relativistic stellar models. We show that this approach allows a reasonably clean separation of radiation from the shell and from fluid motions in…

We present a comprehensive study on the low-lying states of neutron-rich Er, Yb, Hf, and W isotopes across the $N=126$ shell with a multi-reference covariant density functional theory. Beyond mean-field effects from shape mixing and…

New structure problems are raised in nuclei near drip lines by recent RIB experiments. We pointed out the importance of dynamical effect beyond mean field theories to the new structure problems.

The shell effect and isospin effect in nuclear charge radii are systematically investigated and a four-parameter formula is proposed for the description of the root-mean-square (rms) charge radii by combining the shell corrections and…

A mass formula (BWM) without shell effect is employed to study the variation of the shell effect in Pb isotopes through comparison with the experimental data. Unlike other macroscopic formulae, the BWM reproduces the general trend of the…

Radii of charge and neutron distributions are fundamental nuclear properties. They depend on both nuclear interaction parameters related to the equation of state of infinite nuclear matter and on quantal shell effects, which are strongly…

Effective field theory of the in-medium nucleon-nucleon interaction is considered. The effective range parameters are found to be of a natural scale. The low density limit is discussed both in perturbative and nonperturbative situations. In…

The parameters of the nuclear liquid drop model, such as the volume, surface, symmetry, and curvature constants, as well as bulk radii, are extracted from the non-relativistic and relativistic energy density functionals used in microscopic…

The main aim of the results presented here is to demonstrate and analyse the importance of shell effects in nuclei, metallic clusters and quantum dots.

We study the extrapolation of nuclear shell structure to the region of superheavy nuclei in self-consistent mean-field models -- the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach and the relativistic mean-field model -- using a large number of…

We compute the proton-neutron entanglement entropy in the interacting nuclear shell model for a variety of nuclides and interactions. Some results make intuitive sense, for example that the shell structure, as governed by single-particle…

Quantum-mechanical shell effects are expected to strongly enhance nuclear binding on an "island of stability" of superheavy elements. The predicted center at proton number $Z=114,120$, or $126$ and neutron number $N=184$ has been…

The shell structure of magic nuclei far from stability is discussed in terms of the self-consistent spherical Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory. In particular, the sensitivity of the shell-gap sizes and the two-neutron separation energies to…

Observations of accreting neutron stars are widely used to constrain the microphysical properties of superdense matter. A key ingredient in this analysis is the heating associated with nuclear reactions in the outer layers of the neutron…

Nuclear effects in the quasielastic and inelastic scattering of neutrinos(antineutrinos) from nuclear targets have been studied. The calculations are done in the local density approximation which take into account the effect of nucleon…

The nucleon separation energies and shell gaps in nuclei over the whole nuclear chart are systematically studied with eight global nuclear mass models. For unmeasured neutron-rich and super-heavy regions, the uncertainty of the predictions…

A well-established observation in nuclear physics is that in neutron-rich spherical nuclei the distribution of neutrons extends farther than the distribution of protons. In this work, we scrutinize the influence of this so called…

Neutron skin is an exotic phenomena in unstable nuclei. The various effects in nuclear reactions caused by the neutron skin and also its relation with the properties of nuclear structure are reviewed in this article. Based on numerous…
